Approximately 20 years after the events depicted in Deus Ex, The World is only beginning to recover from a Catastrophic worldwide depression. In the Chaotic period of recovery, several religious and political factions see an opportunity to re-shape a worldwide government to their agendas,...

While I can see how this game doesn't compare to DX1 and Human Revolution, it does have some interesting moments. This is a much better game than some of the early access crap being released. Considering price I can only conclude that the only reason this...

Deus Ex: Invisible War's graphics can be improved by means of self-installing texture packs that apply new and better textures to the game. Here's a guide (based on Znokiss' Ultimage Steam Community thread) on where to find and what to mods to apply to th

I really wanted to play this game having just finished the original Deus Ex and Human Revolution and loving them both. I know this game has gotten a lot of hate so I wanted to see if it really stood for it or if that was just the angry nostalgia talking...

Too bad I was never able to find out.

Right off the bat the game wouldn't run, it would sit on a black screen and do nothing as task manager repeatedly warned that it was not responding. Eventually I found a fix for that and was able to get it started, and thought I was on the road to beginning the game, but a short time and an intro cutscene later the game threw my hopes of that out the window. I was able to choose my character and clicked the done button and then I was greeted by another black screen. I ended the task and the game refused to let my resolution go back to normal. After I went and manually turned it back, the game randomly decided to start back up, and I was thrust into the first level. I went through it and got to the next level, and again, another black screen. This one wouldn't go away no matter what I did. I searched forums and tried all sorts of "fixes" but none of them worked: compatibility settings, resolution changes, "fixed" start exes, even changing the affinity of the exe to a single core. None of these things worked. The only thing I didn't try that people said worked was a compatibility problem with Realtek audio drivers...which I wasn't about to uninstall all of my audio to run this game. Not worth it. So, having never gotten to play the game except for the first "level," I have to not recommend this game simply for it's horrible compatibility problems.

Well, I must say this game left me very mixed on whether or not to recommend. It is dirt cheap, old, simple, but I enjoyed playing it none the less. Installed a modded texture pack, but the graphics are still really dated.

The voice acting is atrocious. It literally sounds like the voice actors are reading right off an index card without any emotion what so ever. I think this is the worst voice acting in any game I've ever played. And let me tell you, I've been playing video games since Intellivision in the 80's. Yet, I still recommend the game.

The placing of codes and data cubes with highly top secret information is absurd. Yet I still recommend the game.

No lean function? Ridiculous. But I still recommend this game.

AI? None.

The loading screens are just horrible. They are everywhere. The interface is cluncky. The mods are pretty poorly implemented too.

But the game was fun. Strange. I just took it for what it was, ran around and just butchered everyone. Even all the main characters. Because all the factions just seemed like a bunch of idiots.

But the game was........fun? Yep. Take it for what it is: mediocre entertainment. Had cheap. Just enjoy it. Its simple and it is just that simple: mindless entertainment.

I can't believe the negative ratings for this game. Yes, it didn't live up the the original Deus Ex, but that doesn't mean it's bad!!!Pros:+Different storyline "paths" to take+Interesting story background (It is the sequel to Deus Ex, after all)+Variety of ways to complete objectives (like the original)+Cool soundtrack+RAGDOLL PHYSICS!!!+Decent Graphics (a bit outdated by today's standards, but still good)+Lots of replayability+Ties in with the original+DIFFENITLY BETTER THAN DEUS EX: THE FALL PC PORT!!!!

Cons:-Mechanics were simplified for consoles(It also got an Xbox release)-Bad voice acting-Poor enemy AI-Character animations are unrealistic (but better than the original)-A few bugs and glitches

Overall: 8.5/10Summary: It's good game overall. If you haven't played a Deus Ex game before, then play the original first, because if you don't then this game can be a bit confusing. Other than that, by all means get it!
